Navaja - Adoptable Dog from PSPCA

This is how Ty feels about not getting adopted in 2022.

He is dog-friendly, loves people....and has been waiting too long.

2023 - do your thing!

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Victor Zaz and I am writing to see if you can make my wish
come true.

My friends at the shelter say I am a sweet guy with a sensitive soul.

My wish is to find a Special Forever Home where I can live quietly with
another canine companion in a calm, low traffic household. Ideally I’d
have adult humans who are willing to give me lots of time and space to
get comfortable at my own pace.

Some of my favorite things are watching birds, people, exploring and
snoozing. When it comes to treats, give me soft treats like cheese, a
licky mat with pumpkin, yogurt and a lovely stuffed Kong.

Santa, I know in the right home, I could be a very happy part of someone’s family.
Can you work your magic, Santa? I would be forever grateful.

Lots of Love,
Victor Zaz

Dear Santa,

Christmas is coming, but I'm not happy. I don't feel the way I'm supposed to feel. I want to be on a cozy couch, watching Peanuts Christmas, with my humans by my side.

It makes me sad that I’ve been at the PSPCA so long. I always try sitting like a good boy in my kennel but I often get overlooked.

A Good Samaritan found me as a stray and brought me into the PSPCA in May. I’ve been in the shelter since then and I really hope to have a home by Christmas. My friends at the shelter give me so much love and for that I’m so grateful, but I would love a permanent place to call forever.

I know my family is out there, so I’ll try to be patient until then.

Please let them know that my favorite things include belly rubs, long walks, and trying all kinds of treats! I’m not picky at all - as long as I get to be a little selfish and have them all to myself.

My perfect home would be one with older kiddos and maybe even a doggie sibling!
I know I can make someone really happy.

Please help me find a home Santa!

Dear Santa,

I am so excited for the Holiday Season. It's my favorite time of year since it's when the PSPCA rescued me last year.

I promise I've been a good boy.

All I want for Christmas is a family that loves me as much as my buddies here. I'm looking for people who would love to go on adventures and show me just how wonderful this world is.

People who want a curious dog that will help me learn. If they have a pool that would be the best because as you know - swimming is my favorite thing to do! I've been here for a year now and I just know I'm ready for a home. I know my people are out there.

Will you bring them to me!?

Love,
Cider

Dear Santa,

It’s been one whole year since I last wrote to you, asking for you to find me my family for Christmas – and I’m still here at the PSPCA.

Don’t blame yourself Santa, I know you tried really hard to find me a home last year and I’ve been working really hard to make the best of the situation too.

Instead of moping around feeling sorry for myself - I know, I know, sometimes I look a little down - I used this whole year to become the best dog I can be!

With the help of my volunteer friends, I can sit, give paw, fetch and I’m even working on my agility with the obstacle course! I learned that I love going on adventures away from the shelter, sometimes going on hikes and even swimming. I do love swimming!

As I’ve gotten more confident and comfortable, I’ve really come to love playing with all my friends here, and even went home with a few of them for weekends, just to prove that I also know how to be a chill couch potato to watch TV with.

I think all this work I’ve put in is really paying off. Yes, I’m still still here, but I’m now much more well-rounded, full of love and loyalty, just waiting to make someone’s life complete.

I believe in you Santa, and I know you believe in me too! This is our year – the year you’ll find me the family that needs me and the year I’ll finally find out what it means to be home for Christmas.

Lots of love from your favorite, goofy gal,

Rosie
